Hi all,
As Jon mentioned in the following mail, something may go wrong in the VM for
building packages.
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2025-April/257948.html
Many files/directories don't have permissions for non-privileged users.
These packages are examples I found. Other packages may have same issues.
* emacs-common-30.1-1 (subdirs.el is not readable)
* libpng16-1.6.47-1 (The impact is minor)
* screen-5.0.0-1 (utf8 settings?)
Thanks for the reminder of this issue, which I'd forgotten about...
Thanks for flagging this. I've always understood that setup (or cygport?) sets
suitable permissions on package files, but if that's not true, we maintainers
will need guidance on how to set them.
I think this is technically all under the control of the cygport, it's
just that usually 'make install' (or it's equivalent) sets things up
correctly.
However, there was a breakage in the package builder, which led to some
packages being made wrongly:

Apologies for the inconvenience.
